I celebrated my 40th birthday at the Paris, with three friends (we had two rooms). We stayed for three nights, in June 2010.
Front Desk Check In (D)
Be prepared for a long wait when checking in (averaging over an hour). The fact that I was celebrating this milestone birthday had little effect, as the clerk merely mumbled 'happy birthday' and provided no upgrade.
Rooms (C+)
Standard room, with questionable cleanliness. The view was a joke. Looked onto the rooftop of another building. Forget about an upgrade. Large bathroom, with firm beds. Tired decor.
Housekeeping (C -)
Use the safe! I had one piece of jewellery 'go missing'. Dental floss and candy wrapper found on the floor. Dirty glasses sat in the corridor for the 3 days during our stay. One Paris staff member actually hit the glasses with a trolley, and instead of taking them away, simply re-positioned them.
Facilities (B)
Loved the martini bar, except for two of the cocktail waitresses. The evening waitress on June 6 was fabulous! The evening ladies on June 07 and 08 however, were rude and looked as though they disliked their jobs immensely. Perhaps I would be too, if I had to wear such skimpy outfits at 50. Check out the 2 for 1 martini specials. Long waits in the morning for coffee/croissant/pastry. Had dinner at the cafe, which was average. I am adverse to cigarette smoke and it wasn't that bad. Loved the Parisian theme.
Pool (C+)
Mediocre pool, that lacked an 'exotic' feel. There is ample shade - you just have to be prepared to move around the pool. To state the obvious - keep well hydrated (avoid the sugary boozy drinks). It was 110 F when we were there (even the locals said it was hot!) Poolside service was good. The pool is unexciting but certainly adequate. Ample loungers.
Location (A)
Fabulous location, across from the Bellagio and shopping and Miracle Mile Shopping. Bring COMFY shoes, as you will need it walking the strip.
Gambling
Seemed like hardly anyone was winning. No one in our group of four broke even, or came out a little ahead.
Would I stay again? Not likely. I would check out the Bellagio next time. Fine if you are looking for an average Las Vegas experience.
